tain NeWS, the pioneer newspaper of
Western American journalism, is ccle-
brating to night its removal to its new
quarters in the Patterson Il Thomas
block, in the center of town, from its for
mer office, which was the Oldest building
in the city, and which the Ne,oS had oc-
cupled twenty-onc years. Leading men
of the state attended the opening, and are
being shown the advantages of the best
equipped newspaper Office in the West.
The NeICS was first issued April %,

and prosperous citizen Of Denver. When
the initial number appeared the town
consisted of four log houses and several
nundrel tents, while an Indian village
occupied the site of what is now the prin-
cipal business street. The directory census
Just completed shows a population of
l00,0 600 and a real valuation OF $30, 000,-
600. The c~learlngs for the year were

handsomcst in the west, being similar in
appearance to the Chicago Times build
ing. The removal has Just occurred,
and $50 employees are enjoying the most
improved modern facilities in their work
The opening of the new building will be

American Journalism, a full and complete

Cress in mining, agricultural, cattle and
railway features. The opening of the

In a very interesting sketch of fever
pathology in ''The British Medical Jour
nal, y by DIR. Goodridge, the admission is
frankly made that the onset of the char
acteristic phenomena in that widely
prevalent disease has not yet been demon
n word, that the proXimate
cause of fever still remains undetermined.
What is positively known is that the
characteristic elevation of temperature of
the body in fever is mainly due to in
creased production of heat; and, besides
the increased production Of heat, there is
n disorder of nutrition, an abnormal dis
Indignation of the body and particularly
of the muscular tissue, evinced, on the
one hand, by increased eXcretion Of urea
and potash salts, of carbonic acid and per
haps also by water; and, on the other
hand, by progressive loss of body weight.
The increased production of heat occur
ring at n time when n principal source of
normal heat prOduction-viz., the food
invested, is all but completely cut of,
must have its origin in the abnormal dis
Indignation of tissue-the converse, too,
may hold good to Q greater or less extent,

tinguished Governor.
He SuCCumbs to a Violent Attack of
Pneumonia.
The Late Mrs. AstOr's Will - Her
Generous Bequests.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 2S.-The Jour
mails special from Jefferson City says that
Governor Marmaduke died at the exccu-
tive mansion at 9:37 o'clock to, night.
Governor M~armaduke has not been well
since the adjournment Of the special ses-
sion Of the Legislature last summer. TAX
ing the advice of friends and his physi.
clans he ven TO Europe, visiting England
and Ireland briefly, and finally located at
a famous watering place in Belgium,
where he remained three or four weeks.
On Friday he felt badly. but attended to
his official duties as usual. On Saturday
night he was troubled with a cough, and
on Sunday DIR. Dawson was called in, and
informed the governor that he was liable
to a violent attack of pneumonia.
By Tuesday morning his condition had
become SO much worse that he asked that
DR.. X. Il. Young, superintendent Of the
Nevada lunatic asylum, be sent for. He
remained in bed all day, but was able to
discuss official business and to join in gen
eral conversation. Up to 2 O'Clock this
morning no special uneasiness was felt,
but at that hour a change for the worse
became visible, and he commenced sink
ing. by half past 2 O'CLOCK this after
noon a great change had occurred and his
physicians announced that he was beyond
the reach of medical skill. He remained
in a semi unconscious state all the after
noon and evening, and at twenty three
minutes before 10 o'clock to night, sur
rounded by members of his household
and a number of intimate personal and of
fetal associates he breathed his last.
John Sappington Marmaduke was born
in Saline county, Missouri, March 4,
1888. He attended Yale and Harvard
colleges, and in June. 1858, entered West
Point military academy, from which in
stitution he graduated four years later.
He was assigned to a regiment under
Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. In April,

where he organized and commanded a
regiment of the Missouri state guards.

he rendered his services to the Confeder-
acy. He began as first lieutrnant and
gradually rose until at the battle of Shiloh

wounded in this battle and was made
b~rigadier general. In the latter part of
the war he commanded in numerous en-
gagements in Missouri and Arkansas. In
October, 1864, he was captured, and was
released in 1865. In 1884 he was nomi-
mated Tor governor by the Democrats and
elected.
Lieutenant Governor Moorehousc of
Nodaway county, will probably take the
oath of Office tomorrow.

A short, stout man, with n red face and
a happy laugh, is u person who las made
his millions in the coffee bushes on Vesey
street. He spends most of his spare time
with the politicians in the Aston house ro-
tunda and he never was known to decline
an invitation to drink. After taking what
he has accepted he invariably munches n
handful of coffee. To n select party of
jovial companions, who never before gave
the subject a thought, he said last night:
"You can adulterate food, but coffee is
rightfully free from the charge. People
who are ignorant say that the mixture of
chicOry with the delicious beverage is in
furious, but abroad it is demanded, and it
is over the water that the coffee drinkers
are. Tho black coffee served at swell
restaurants is generally made entirely of
the root. In Germany 35 per cent. of
chicory is added and in France over 40
per cent. In this country, however, but 4
per cent. is used. New York Mall and

While hogs are not raised to any great
extent in Mexico they pay n good profit.
Mexican hogs are n cross between the
Spanish porkcr and the wild hog of the
mountains, and, like the wood hog of one
half century ago here in the states, they
are rarely attacked by disease. The
average weight Of those killed is 10
pounds, They arc fattcncd and killed
chiefly for the lard, worth 20 cents per
pound in Monterey, while fresh pork com
mands IL IL cents per pound. None is
cured for bacon. Bacon is principally
used by Americans, and is imported from
the United States, bringing 10 cents per
pound and sugar cured hams 60 to -
cents per pound. About five hogs II day
meets the demand of the city Of Mon
terey, with 80, 600 people. While the pco-
pie are fond of pork they anuot afford to
eat it. There is no desire to improve
their stock of hogs by importations of

The Sunday law OF this State,
published in the DEMOCRAT-SrAR
last week, failed to meet with a
warm reception from some of our
good citizens. Severe and unmer
ciful were the criticisms, seme
seeming to consider it a new freak
OF tanaticiSm. We have no apollo
gy to make for publishing it, even
though it falls into the hands OF a
conscientious grand juror. As for
the law itself, it is old enough to
stand alone, even older than the
DEMoCRAT-STAR, having been
enacted in the year 1922, and been
preserved IS years with very slight
change. II is observed by a large
majority of the people of the State
and favored almost unanimously,
hence we presume it will stand for
many years to come.
